I got a quote from a CA dealer who tried that with me, until I showed him a printout from the State web site that says they are NOT taxable...!

Thanks for the heads up. I've actually decided not to go with it. I've only had two things go wrong with the car since I bought it, the lifter ticking (which is a common problem) and just recently my trunk release broke. So I can't see myself spending $2500 for something that based on the history of my car I probably won't use a lot.
